I could never do a post describing every single Goth hairstyle that is out there for either sex... there may be a few 'basic classics' such as the deathhawk, and the standard long black waterfall of hair, but the trouble with Goths is that you just can't classify or catalogue everything they do, because most of us like to take inspiration from a style, and then make it their own.

With hairstyles as with fashion, there are just as many exciting and unique styles for gentlemen as for ladies, but unless you dig around you're likely to see just a few 'standard' styles - long, straight and centre-parted; deathhawk or mohawk; cyber-tastic dreadlocks, usually with some shaven head sections.

With this thought in mind, I have been digging around the internet to try and find some images of men's hairstyles that do not fit any of the above categories. (If you are inspired by any of these hairstyles, remember that hairdresses and stylists are usually more than happy to try and recreate an image if you print it off and take it to them.) I am going to link to these images so as not to tread on anyone's copyright!

This is Thomas Vitriol *passes round hanky to the Goth ladies to mop up drool*. I don't believe any further words are necessary.

Plenty of inspiration with this photoset. There seems to be a sad lack of backcombing/teasing amongst young Goth lads nowadays; hopefully the first, third and eighth photos could provoke a comeback. The fourth and seventh photos I love unreservedly.

I have to correct you though on Mana which he isn't, that is Közi from Malice Mizer times. That band had quite a few wonderful hairstyles back in the time and I would recommend all guys to check their hair styles (why not the music and whatever else as well) out as well even though that is more of the older visual kei style.

I'm currently rocking a mohawk that's getting close to being about 6 inches, possibly longer, or would be if not for the fact that winter is here and putting it up means not being able to wear a nice warm winter hat. It gets very very cold here in Winnipeg, MB. Temperatures well below -30 are not uncommon here, and we get more than our share of -40. With the occasional -50 with the windchill on some days.

So I guess I'll spend the winter growing it out some more. I want to get it long enough to have a nice deathhawk for awhile. Then I will shave it all off again and try something new.

I found Thomas Vitriol last weekend, and he is one of the most beautiful men that has ever walked the earth (my opinion, but honestly- just look at him!)! He also has a beautiful voice *addicted*, you should check his youtube channel ^^

As SugarRat said, fourth from the bottom is indeed Kozi, whose clothing is definitely worth looking at if you're after some inspiration. He often wears things most other people would overlook, in ways and combinations you wouldn't normally consider. And never fails to make it work, somehow.

What can I do with extremely kinky-curly-frizle hair? The humidty where I live dosn't help. -_- I would REALLY like something other than this '70s 'fro I got going on. I have thought about dreading it, but I can't due to my family, becuase I'm sixteen. Help?

There's some great styles here, and some really great ideas... unfortunately, I've been blessed with very thin, limp, silky hair which is very nice, but nearly impossible to tease up in any form... coupled with a slight undercut, I'm not left with many options haha.

About Me

Amy Asphodel

My best friends say I'm girly which makes no sense because I don't even brush my hair. I had my first kiss in a glade of bluebells. My favourite perfume is vanilla which makes sense because old books smell of vanillin. I will hug anything that stays still long enough and firmly believe that life's too short for boring clothes. I really like to dance. I love stories, fluffy jumpers, bonfires, stars and tea. I know all the best people and am lucky to call them my friends and family. I seem to own a ridiculous amount of socks. I believe that normality is overrated and tattoos are art. I wear too much scent and play music too loud. I don't believe in perfection. I would probably be an evil genius if I could just stop putting my handbag in the fridge. I own bloomers and a top hat (or four). I'm not sure I believe in karma but I do like to be on the safe side. I may seem quiet when you first meet me but that's just how I lure my victims.
